Subaru Impreza Wrx car overview

General
About 8 years have passed since the release of Subaru Impreza WRX. This car continues to show high results at the world's WRC rally championships (World Rally Championship). At the 8th championship held in New Zealand, the car took leading places in several categories. In 2000, the new generation of this excellent car saw the light, and undoubtedly, it deserves attention. Let's try to feel the new Impreza.

Comfort of movement
WRX NB Model, on which there was a trial run. Equipped with a 2-liter turbine engine with a capacity of 250 horses, it is the strongest currently. In addition, in the fall, it is planned to emerge another powerful STI VERSION model.
The movement of this car can surprise even experienced. When the car moves on an uneven surface, the suspension absorbs all the blows, as a result, the car moves smoothly, without shaking. A new strengthening of the suspension and body has been used, which ensures high smoothness and comfort at any speed. We cannot say with confidence what the STI VERSION car will be, but one Impreza WRX NB will be clear from the feeling of tension while driving.

Speed \u200b\u200band quality combination
The Impreza engine is practically identical to the Legacy GT (B4 RSK) engine. The difference is that Legacy has a double turbocharger, and Impreza is a single one. In the case when the ICE is equipped with an automatic gearbox, due to the more advanced design of the Impreza turbocharger, it wins in power compared to Legacy, especially at the beginning of the movement. Unlike Legacy, there are absolutely no failures in rotating moments at the average engine speed. The output power is quite large. In general, the car must satisfy you.
The machine reacts quickly and sensitively when you press a particular pedal (gas, brake), holds a given trajectory well. The front part of the suspension loses in road sections with steep turns, but on ordinary roads it does not matter: it is extremely difficult to ensure that the car goes into skids, lost contact with the road. Interest remains: what will the Sti Version offer with its 280 hp about this? But, if you reason sensibly, then if you only do not have a hobby to take part in circular runs, then I believe that there is no need to wait for the Sti Version.
Among the GT modification cars, which combine speed and quality, Impreza is the most attractive model. Another question is the price that is approaching the price of B4. Probably, I'm not the only one that the difference between two cars immediately comes to mind. How will such a price affect a potential consumer? Probably, the answer to this question will play an important role in the fate of Impreza.
